Abstract

Coupling coefficient, odd- and even-mode impedances, and the mode phase velocities are calculated for a pair of broadside-coupled strips embedded in a layered dielectric medium and enclosed by a rectangular shield. Large ratios of mode phase velocities can be achieved with this structure leading to novel performance characteristics for familiar coupled-line configurations such as the microwave C section.
